Jan 16, 2024 #News

President Bola Tinubu has praised his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari for not meddling in the selection of his 48-member cabinet. 

Giving a speech during the book presentation in honour Buhari, written by Femi Adesina, the former presidential spokesperson, Tinubu stated that his predecessor has collaborated with him to make democracy thrive in the country. 

He said; 

“After handing over, you (Buhari) said, ‘I will be far away in Daura but if you need me, contact me. I won’t intrude on whatever you are doing. I won’t interfere. I won’t breathe down on your throat. We’ve partnered to make democracy flourish in Nigeria, thank you.

“Except when I call him (on the phone) to say, ‘Are you living, are you going to the farm?’, you don’t hear from him (Buhari) either to nominate or intrude in the cabinet or complain about issues. Thank you for being who you are.”

The event was attended by former first lady, Aisha; ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; ex-Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon; Senate President Godswill Akpabio and some All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains.
